Greentech fair: Robotics meets AI and sustainability
“Robotics and AI are key technologies for a successful decade of transformation. This makes automatica all the more important as a leading trade fair and trend barometer for companies that want to make their production and logistics fit for the future – i.e. flexible, networked and sustainable.”
In addition to the established key players, the Google subsidiary intrinsic took part in automatica for the first time this year. Henrike Neulen, Account Executive, explains why the Alphabet company chose automatica for the first trade fair participation in the company’s history:

Greentech robots: Focus on sustainability in production and Co2 neutrality
While in the past robots were often seen as a supposed threat to jobs, they have now become a beacon of hope against the omnipresent shortage of skilled workers.
An example of this is the baking robot at the FANUC stand, which is intended to automate monotonous work steps in large bakeries or supermarkets.
From the point of view of marketing manager Nils Terstegen, the industry get-together in Munich is a must: “For us, automatica is the most important trade fair for robots that we have in Europe and worldwide. We use automatica regularly to bring news with us.”

“Sustainable management is one of the most urgent tasks of our time. Software-supported simulation helps to efficiently plan and optimize complex automation solutions even before they are commissioned,” says Wilfried Eberhardt, Chief Marketing Officer at KUKA.
“Automatica was once again the ideal showcase for us to present our latest approaches to an attractive target group
